Grace Letitia Adams was the only child of Henry and Laura Clark Osterday. She was born in this vicinity in 1886 at the proper age began attending the public school. After graduation from the high school…. Later she entered the state university at Bloomington…

Two children were born to them, a son and a daughter. After several years of marital experience a disagreement arose, followed by a separation, the husband taking the son, and the wife the daughter. About eleven years ago the divorced woman married Gustav L. Adams, an Ohio man, and they established a home in Mulberry, Mr. Adams and Mr. Osterday having formed a partnership in the loan, real estate, and insurance business. Mr. Adams died last spring, his death having ended a long period of ill health.

Mrs. Adams decided to continue her husband's business enterprise and she employed Elbert Saeger as her office manager. He remained with her but a short time. She next put Harold Muse in charge, but things did not go well. Some weeks ago Muse left here and Mrs. Adams charged him with having taken several hundred dollars of insurance money which he had collected. Muse is now in custody.

Apparently, Mrs. Adams either tired of her business venture or else it was not paying, and a few weeks ago she sold out to James Weaver.
